David Bowie performed at Stafford’s Bingley Hall on 26 June 1978, as part of the Isolar II Tour.
He performed three consecutive nights at the venue on 24, 25, and 26 June. They were Bowie’s only shows in Stafford.
This was the 62nd date of the tour, which began on 29 March in San Diego.
Bowie’s guitarists were Carlos Alomar and Adrian Belew. Simon House was on electric violin, Sean Mayes played piano, and Roger Powell was on keyboards and synthesizers. George Murray played bass guitar and Dennis Davis was on drums.
We played three nights there and the shows were great. David really enjoyed it.
